The D was good. Still left a few too many 3s wide open. But good nonethless. Good to see when the offense struggles our D can pick us up.

Is Cody still sick btw?

I think so. They showed him on the bench after playing about 3 minutes and he looked exhausted. He traveled three times tonight and on one of them he took two full steps before the ball even hit the floor. Worst game I've ever seen him play.

I know nobody wants to hear this, but who thinks we coasted through this game? Cause I do. Georgia is absolutely a flip the switch and beat these guys senseless team. All we had to do was play good offense for two minutes and we were up by 10. Only one guy played over 30 minutes tonight.

Probably part of it, another part of it was the foul trouble for sure. But if they were coasting lets hope they learned their lesson not to do that again.

What lesson was to be learned? It worked just fine. We won by double digits. Our D was brilliant, we pushed the pace offensively at the right moment. We didn't push the ball really at all in the first half. It's early, I don't think there's anything to be worked up about, unless you're really genuinely concerned about the offense, which to me would not make sense.

Cody looked sick to me. Just not the same expression, gave a good effort, but I think however he was feeling clealry took his mind out of the game a bit.

You should never coast through a game is the lesson to be learned. It worked this time. But a superior team coasting through a game is how we knocked off Kentucky last year. More often than not you can just flip that switch and win, but every once in awhile that switch doesn't get flipped soon enough. Not to dangerous during the regular season, disastrous if its tournament time.

Meh little difference between us and UK and UGA and us. Anyway, UGA scored one 2 point field goal final ten minutes. Pretty dang good for the boys. G'Town and UCLA both a little slow early too.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Still no excuse to coast through a game. Dominate early then rest the second half if you have the talent to do so. Much better than resting the first half and then hope to dominate the second.

May not even get UCLA if they don't get their **** together.

Frankly Georgetown scares me more than UCLA.

...and Georgetown it is. If IU brings the defense they played tonight against the Hoyas, it should be a good result.

Otto Porter looked pretty good tonight. He's a bit of a matchup problem for us. I think we are going to need Watford to step up and play solid D on him.

I hate to be a downer but Georgetown is a bit more skilled offensively than Georgia.

[obnoxiousmodesty]

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Georgetown is way, way better than Georgia, no doubt. I was pleased with the activity on the defensive end by the Hoosiers tonight. It's not going to be an easy contest, but one I think IU can prevail in over the course of the game.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

I was terrified Shabazz would go off in his second game so I'm actually OK with G'Town. I recognize they are a good team

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

With G'Town's size tonight do you tweak the starters if you're Crean? Go to the group that started the NCAA tourney games maybe? Hulls, Oladipo, Sheehey, Watford, Zeller.
